I bought the ELM-3600-SS Storm Series, which I suspect is virtually the same as the 3500. Anyway, the primary reason I picked it over the ELM-3000 was having wheels and handles to make it easy to move. I invariably end up moving things by myself.

So far it has worked fine. I don't know if that helps you decide anything, but that is my two cents worth.

I have been following this thread for all 90+ pages and almost 1 month, and I am ready to pull the trigger on the ELIM3000. But I am still uncertain if I should go with the ELIM3600SS. I will be using my gen as the primary backup for my house (and sump pump). The ELIM3000 is great since all amps can be redirected to one 120v outlet. My sump is very inefficient (13.5 running amps!!!). Anyway, the ELIM3600 being almost 10lbs lighter, and 2db quieter, with wheels for only a $100 jump has me 2nd guessing the ELIM3000 as my choice.

My only question is can all amps be sent to 1-120v outlet similar to the ELIM3000? If yes, I may purchase an ELIM3600SS tomorrow. If no, then I purchase the ELIM3000 tomorrow.

Also, after reading about all the UPS (shipping) woes, has anyone who has purchased an ELIM3000 from the ebay seller (Jae's) used any other shipping option? Is there any other shipping option available from this seller? Good things or bad things about the seller?

Too many questions. Just can't see good things happening if my UPS guy has to deliver a 100 pount package at my house! Bad things will happen.

Thanks to all for the time you spent putting this thread together and all the testing you have done. I appreciate it greatly!

Does anyone else know if there are differences between ELIM3000 and 3500? Specifically, can the 3500 divert all the running amps to 1 -120 volt outlet? I have an email to the EBAY seller, sent on Friday, but have not received an answer.

Anyone?
